Happiness

Happiness - Whistler

You rest your heart you rest your head

You have the softest bed

You need it's familiarity

It's very nice You like the warmth

You've been in other beds before

But disregard their similarity

You may be bored

The only flaw

As far as you can see

And when that calm descends

It's almost as good as happiness

When that calm descends

It's almost as good as happiness

You drift away well no one said

That you should look ahead

You're not supposed to lie there all day long

It's a love that you maintain

There's none of it in vain

These easy sacrifices are not wrong

Though they're ignored

You're forgotten

But you're not gone

And when that calm descends

It's almost as good as happiness

When that calm descends

It's almost as good as happiness

Then one day when she has gone

And you can love no one

It may be even easier that way

To lie alone and watch the sky

Or watch the world go by

To pass the time that passes anyway

And when that calm descends

It's almost as good as happiness

When that calm descends

It's almost as good as happiness

Almost as good as happiness

Almost as good as happiness
